I successfully restrung and tuned my ukulele!
Busterβs doing a great imitation of everyone else in your house!
I had a job interview today. Iβve been reluctant to get back to the 9 to 5 but itβs just getting to a point financially where I need a regular paycheck.
Iβve been interested in cushy jobs, and a local university had an opening for an instructional designer job that lines up really well with my skills.
I interviewed with the whole design team - I think it says a lot about the manager that he pulled all of them off their projects to select a new colleague. I liked all the people and it felt like a strong interview.
They are supposed to get back next week with a selection but then itβs a bunch of hoops to get through the hiring process.
Iβm very hopeful as itβs a state university so itβs got gobs of benefits. Pay is kinda crap but not worse than anything else Iβve seen in the area. Feels like a good fit for now.
Oh! Good luck! Thinking good thoughts your way that youβll get this job!
Thank you. Iβm so hopeful. If I get this, I can move into Jacksonville, and itβs so much more diverse than the area Iβm in now. I feel like I can start to live my life again, because Iβll have some regular pay and the support to take care of myself, even though I still think a lot about getting back to Israel. But, I canβt deal with more upheaval. Just, hate being in fucking Florida of all places. Still, being at a State University that is growing (they said they are seeking to double their enrollment) will be a nice, comfortable job where I can stay and retire from. I also can take 6 credit hours a semester, which would be nice. Hoping to run my business on the side and use some of my funds to promote my business startup course as a self-guided program.
That sounds like the perfect set-up for you!
For the very first time ever since being diagnosed with diabetes (almost 20 years ago? I donβt remember exactly when), my blood sugar is now officially under control.
A1C for the last few years: 8.2, 8.6, 8.1, 8.4, 8.1, 7.7, 7.6, 6.5
(I also lost 5 pounds over the course of a year, for the second time in a row, which isnβt a lot but Iβll take what I can get)
Good job you!!!
As a follow-up, I didnβt get that job, nor another job at Citi that had me submit an elaborate work sample and I never even spoke to anyone to learn anything about the position. Iβm pretty upset about it. Just goign to keep going.
Iβm so sorryβ¦ Iβm sure youβll find something soon though. Hang in thereβ¦
I hate that.
Yeah, it was really a bad experience. But I have a good work sample out o fit.
Thanks @mindysan33. Itβd be nice to be done with job hunting, but just gonna keep on keepinβ on.
